This is a bit too strange.
Rumors were still raging yesterday that because she didn't want He Chuling to enter the palace, she deliberately took He Chuling away and dealt with it secretly.
Why are they gone today
Yun Chang squinted her eyes, could it be that she wanted the common people to feel that she was the one who heard these rumors and specially sent someone to clean them up, so no one dared to spread rumors easily
It's not impossible...
But, is it really such an obvious and outrageous strategy
Yun Chang frowned, and turned his mind several times: "Besides this, are there other abnormalities? Has He Chuling been found in the city?"
Qianyin shook her head: "No, other than that, there are no other abnormalities, and no trace of He Chuling has been found. He Chuling seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
"Even we secretly checked all the people in the city who we think behaved abnormally, so far, we haven't found anything special."
Yunshang tapped lightly on the table with her finger: "When He Chuling disappeared, no one guarding outside He's residence ever noticed that He Chuling was taken away."
"He Chuling has been missing for a day and a half. I have searched all possible places in the city, but I haven't found any clues."
Yunshang raised her eyes and looked at Qianyin: "It seems to have disappeared out of thin air. After He Chuling disappeared, I have heard this sentence several times."
Yun Chang pursed her lips: "Of course it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, there are only two possibilities, or, someone really has such a great ability to quietly avoid our eyeliner and take He Chuling away Hidden."
"Either way, He Chuling was not taken away from the He residence. It can also be said that He Chuling was not taken away in the way we imagined."
Qianyin frowned, with some doubts in her eyes, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Yunshang's words.
Yunshang glanced at Qianyin: "I mean, maybe, there is a secret passage in He's mansion, and He Chuling was taken away from the secret passage, and that secret passage is connected to other places. He Chuling entered and exited the secret passage through the secret passage. , or was hidden by someone, or was sent directly out of the city through a secret passage."
Qianyin thought about it carefully for a moment, and felt that Yunshang's suspicion was very reasonable: "If this is the case, then we have almost no way to investigate, should we... investigate?"
Yun Chang tapped lightly on the table with her fingers: "I won't check anymore."
"Don't check?"
Yun Chang nodded: "On the bright side, we will still hang up the reward order to show that the palace attaches great importance to He Chuling, and the secret guards and hidden posts will be withdrawn, so there is no need to investigate again."
"If someone wants to get in the way and use this matter to make a fuss, sooner or later the fox's tail will be exposed. Even if we don't do anything, they will come out by themselves. We might as well withdraw the people we sent to investigate this matter. Come on, do something more important."
Qianyin nodded, frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she responded.
"Then besides this matter, does the empress have any other orders? The empress just said that all the people sent out to investigate this matter will be withdrawn to do some more important things. This more important thing refers to …”
Yun Chang's fingers in her sleeves trembled slightly, and after a long silence, she opened her mouth again: "Although there is no army on the Ganhe side, I guess the situation will not be too good, and the war is about to break out. , we also have to prepare early.”
It is not the first time for Qianyin to deal with a war after following Yunshang's side. She is naturally very clear about the preparations Yunshang said: "I will arrange it when I go back, mobilize food and grass as soon as possible, and make preparations early."
Yun Shang nodded: "It is necessary to prepare early."
Before that, she thought that Luo Qingyan had gone to Ganhe County, so she didn't take it too seriously. She felt that with Luo Qingyan here, Luo Qingyan would definitely make all the arrangements early, and she didn't need to worry about it. Too much heart.
But now knowing that Luo Qingyan didn't go there, he should have made complete preparations earlier in case of emergencies.
Not long after Qianyin left, Xiang Changlin came with Liu Wenan.
Yun Shang then told the two about He Chuling.
"Send people out of the city through secret passages?" Xiang Changlin frowned, "I feel that this is even more impossible than He Chuling disguised as someone else and being taken out of the city."
Seeing Yunshang's doubts, he explained to Chang Lincai and Yunshang: "Your Majesty has built a lot of secret roads in this Jincheng before."
Yun Chang knows about this, but does it have anything to do with He Chuling's matter
Xiang Changlin continued: "At that time, when we were building the secret passage, we also discovered that there were other secret passages under the Jincheng, which should have been built by others."
"In order to prevent the secret path from being repaired to the palace or outside the city without the knowledge of His Majesty and Empress, Your Majesty ordered the hidden guards to do something quietly."
He bowed his head to Changlin: "Your Majesty ordered four circular secret passages to be dug in the city, and the innermost circle was built in the inner palace. The palace is circled."
"The second circle is built outside the palace gate, enclosing the entire palace."
"The third circle, at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, encloses the inner city."
"The fourth circle is at the base of the city wall of Jincheng, enclosing the entire Jincheng."
Yun Chang frowned slightly, is there such a thing
Why, she didn't know it at all
"These four circles are all guarded by secret guards, and all others are sealed except for the secret passages we built ourselves. If you want to leave Jincheng through the secret passages, except for your majesty and empress, and some It is impossible for the hidden guard, who is trusted by His Majesty, to be done by others."
Yun Shang was silent for a while: "So, He Chuling, it is impossible to leave Jincheng through the secret road?"
"yes."
Liu Wen'an was listening on the side, and then he opened his mouth: "Although it is impossible to leave Jincheng directly through the secret passage, it is also possible that He Chuling was taken away from He's mansion through the secret passage the night before, and then through the secret passage, Arrived near the gate of the city. Come out from the exit near the gate of the city..."
"Early the morning before yesterday, the news of He Chuling's disappearance had not yet reached the palace. The guards at the gate of the city were not so strict, and the control over the people leaving the city was not so strict. They tried to disguise themselves casually, and it was not difficult for them to leave Jincheng."
Yun Shang nodded: "He Chuling can't leave Jincheng directly through the secret road, but it's also possible that he left Jincheng before we reacted."
Yun Shang paused for a moment, but smiled wryly: "I don't know why, maybe it's because of a woman's intuition, I always feel that He Chuling is no longer in Jincheng."
"It's just that it's unknown who took her abducted, where he wants to take her, and what kind of intentions he has in mind."
